After Princess Ling Yin left, the garden became empty. Zhao Jing coldly gazed at Zhong Fu, who was slowly walking over. The sullen expression that had just faded from his face, at this moment, reformed. With a snort, Zhao Jing suppressed the anger in his heart and asked with a stifled breath in his chest, "Why didn't you give the order to expel him?" On the contrary, he let Yin'er barge into the Dawn Hall? "What the hell do you mean, Chung Fu?"

Zhong Fu was stunned. "You're angry?" Seeing that Zhao Jing didn't respond, this thick-skinned man walked up to him, grinning as he blew hot air at him. "You're really angry?" That can't be necessary, right? You're really angry at such a small thing? Why are you so stingy? It is said that the Ancestor of the Ancestor Realm, if you have the means to tolerate the world, your heart will be as sharp as a needle, there's no need to make a fool of yourself! "

"Joke?" Zhao Jing snorted as he sized up Zhong Fu, "I'm afraid if this got out, the one who would really make me laugh my head off would be you, right?!"

Zhong Fu frowned slightly as he lowered his head to look at himself. This was not the same set of clothes he had come in. Instead, after he had entered the palace, Zhao Jing had been prepared by someone else. The only thing that did not change was the two steamed buns in front of his chest. Mmm, the steamed buns in the palace are softer and fuller than the steamed buns outside. This set of clothes looked even more realistic!

Taking a deep breath, Zhong Fu shook his chest, "So what? Isn't she a princess? Since it's your child, there's no harm in seeing him. In any case, I want to see him in the future! "

Zhao Jing looked at him with a grim expression. Something was wrong with this brat's head. Did he wear red so many times that he became a fool? However, the matter this time was not that simple. Who dared to spout nonsense in front of the princess after eating the heart of a bear leopard? Ling Yin was still young, so it was hard to tell whether she was right or wrong. There had to be someone instigating her from behind!

Wei Shuge returned from outside. "Your majesty, I didn't see him!"

"Look at who?" Beauvoir asked.

Zhao Jing nodded and stepped into the main hall. Zhong Fu, Wei Shuge and Zhao Yuannan followed closely behind. Once Zhao Jing entered the hall, Zhao Yuannan immediately stood guard at the door to prevent others from approaching.

"Commander Li is stationed outside the Rising Dawn Hall. I don't think anyone else will be able to break in. Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I just don't understand. The princess has always been by the side of the concubine, so why would she listen to such gossip and come to the Rising Dawn Hall to cause a ruckus? As for the princess' words, this servant always felt that something was amiss. Could it be that the empress and her … "

"If I wanted to do something, would I let you or your son go in broad daylight?" Zhao Jing asked.

Wei Shuge was dumbfounded. Zhong Fu, who was standing beside her, crossed his legs and laughed, "Of course not. Seeing their faces, anyone can guess that the Emperor is up to no good. I reckon that before the matter was completed, someone had instead caught Little Plaits! "

"Isn't that the end?" Zhao Jing's expression darkened slightly. "Ling Yin has always been by my side, so I'm not that stupid. She knew that our most beloved person is Ling Yin. After so many events, she definitely wouldn't dare to mess with Ling Yin's body again! Furthermore, anyone with a discerning eye would think of her. How could she be so stupid as to send herself to us? "

Wei Shuge narrowed her eyes and spoke with a faint voice, "Then …" Then only the Perched Parasol Palace's disciple can do it! "

"Or perhaps, there are other people's eyes and mouths in this palace!" Zhao Jing rubbed the center of his brows, somewhat irritated.

Zhong Fu was stunned for a moment. "From the looks of it, although you are the emperor, this imperial palace does not seem to be controlled by you alone. Your life is not as enjoyable as mine in Phoenix City!" I may not be free, but whoever dares to disobey me will be doomed! And you? I think killing someone in a row will take a long time after thinking about it! "

"If so, why did you come to the capital? If you don't, you might as well come to our imperial harem to collect our heads!! " Zhao Jing rolled his eyes. "If you weren't the famous Crown Prince's son, I would definitely skin you alive. Let's see just how bad a villain you are!"

Zhong Fu had a disdainful look on his face, "If you have the ability to vent your anger on outsiders, don't just look at my good temper and come bully me. This rabbit will bite if she gets anxious!"

"With your current state, your teeth will be pulled out before you can even open your mouth. Who can't use empty words?" Zhao Jing stood up. "How are your injuries?"

Zhong Fu rubbed his aching neck, "This servant beside you is too harsh. If I add a bit more, I can probably knock my neck off." Look, I got up early in the morning and looked in the mirror. If it wasn't for my neck being so tough, I probably would have said my goodbyes to you! "

"That's why you should stay away from me from now on. You won't be so lucky next time!" Zhao Jing didn't have the slightest bit of smile on his face. He only stared at Zhong Fu for a long time. This young man was dressed in a red outfit and was quite charming. He didn't expect to be a peerless hero in Phoenix City. Zhao Jing thought to himself, if Zhong Zhangtian could see Zhong Fu's current appearance, he would probably blind his own eyes and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood!

"I... "Can I call you Ah Jing?" Beauvoir asked.

Zhao Jing was stunned. It had been a long time since she had heard these words. Therefore, her hesitation was due to her not being able to react in time. By the time he recovered from the shock, he didn't want to reject the other party's offer either. When her mother was still alive, when she was still under her master's tutelage, everyone would call her He Jing. Ever since he came to the palace, the warmth in his mouth was gone!

"Jing?" Zhong Fu smiled. This kid looked pretty good when he smiled. His smile was like the first glimmer of dawn, bringing with it a rarely seen hope without any impurities, making those who saw it all feel happy.

Zhao Jing came back to his senses and gently sighed. "It's fine if there's no one around. But if you're in front of the Regent, then you just have to restrain yourself!"

"You seem very afraid that the East may not understand." Zhong Fu raised his eyebrows.

Wei Shuge stepped forward to serve the tea. Zhao Jing raised his cup and raised his eyes slightly, "You're not afraid? "How do I remember there were people who stuttered when they spoke yesterday. They stuttered when they spoke!"

"Who?" Zhong Fu let out a dry laugh. "Anyway, it won't be me. Since when has my famed prince's mansion been afraid of him?" I just have to bow my head in front of someone else. If you have the ability, then make him go to Phoenix City. It would be strange if he does not make him cry and call out his parents! "

Zhao Jing took a sip of tea. "You really know how to break things!"

"Hey, are you planning to keep me here all the time? You don't want me to go out for a walk? " Zhong Fu walked up to Zhao Jing with great interest and placed the two steamed buns in front of him. "Jing …"

"This Emperor only walks his dog!" Zhao Jing glared at him. Just what did he think this palace was? A prince from the Duke Palace that could leave just because he wanted to? If she were to be recognized, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain? [You little brat, you really have no hair on your mouth. You don't know how to do things properly!]

Chung Fu grunted, "This palace is very boring! I really don't understand. What is the meaning of guarding such a huge palace? Alone and lonely throughout the long night! "

"I also don't understand why so many people would want to sit on this dragon throne even if they had to squeeze their brains out!" Zhao Jing didn't look at him as he replied in a tepid voice. She put down her cup, thought for a moment, then stood up. "Rest well in the Rising Dawn Hall. I still have things to do …"

"I'll accompany you!" Chung Fu stood up.

Zhao Jing glanced at him coldly. "You are not allowed to take even half a step out of the Dawn Hall. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you!"

"I don't need you to protect me!" Zhong Fu straightened his neck. "Zhao Jing, I'll tell you the truth. The reason I came to the capital this time was for you …"

"Your majesty!" Zhao Yuannan stood outside the door and bowed. "His Excellency Prime Minister has led Wen Yuye to request an audience with the emperor. Right now, he's already waiting in the side chamber!"

"Wen Yuye?" Zhao Jing's expression turned slightly unsightly. "Got it!" He turned around and glanced at Zhong Fu. "Stay well in the Morning Dawn Palace. I will come to see you when I have time!" Qi Yunshan will be back soon, so you must disappear from everyone's sight before he does! Zhong Fu, it's not that I'm threatening you, I reiterate this one last time. If Qi Yunshan comes back and finds out your identity, I … I really don't have the ability to protect you! "

Zhong Fu stood at the entrance of the hall and watched Zhao Jing's departing figure. His eyes dimmed. "Jing!" He withdrew his brows and smiled bitterly. "They're all people who have already become emperors, why are they still so stupid? I am the heir to the Duke Palace, why would I need your protection? "

Within the side palace.

Uncle Ke summoned Wen Yuye and bowed towards Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing indifferently sat down and glanced at Wen Yuye. The two brothers Wen Yuye and Wen Yufeng had a somewhat similar appearance, but Wen Yufeng had more elegance, and Wen Yuye seemed somewhat tactful. The government had ground it out, so naturally, it was different from the simple and honest nature of the countryside.

"I, Wen Yuye, kowtow to you. Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Wen Yuye knelt on the ground and paid his respects. Although this was his first time meeting the emperor, he did not seem nervous at all. It was also a rare act of boldness.

Zhao Jing pursed his lips. "Stand up!"

"Thank you, your majesty!" Wen Yuye stood up, showing a nonchalant expression.

"The Prime Minister mentioned you and recommended you to me so that you can supervise the murder of Yu Feng!" She had deliberately mentioned Wen Yufeng, but she was only testing his reactions. If she was alone and forgot her own rights, no matter how capable she was, she wouldn't dare to use it again. One must know that this kind of person would betray the world against her sooner or later due to personal problems!

Wen Yuye bent over with a bow, "This subject has the guts to speak the truth?"

"Of course!" Zhao Jing let out a breath. "I don't like to be lied to. You just have to speak the truth and I will forgive you!"

"Yes sir!" Wen Yuye nodded. "This subject is only a ninth rank county, but this subject knows that the world is public. This subject shall be deeply grateful for Prime Minister's recommendation today, but the words of the Emperor are somewhat inappropriate. "

"How dare you!" Cobb shouted.

Zhao Jing flicked his sleeves. "Don't interrupt and let him continue!" I have already said before that I will forgive him for his crimes! Wen Yuye, if you say it's okay, then I'd like to listen carefully. How was I wrong? "

"There were a total of three people killed. Other than this official's younger brother Wen Yufeng, there were two other people. One of them was a freshman. "This official thinks that whoever is dead should find out the truth and punish the culprit severely!" Wen Yuye said, "In this world, the people are important and the ruler is light. As an official, the law was unforgiving. If everyone favours others for their own sake and breaks the law, then using the laws of the king as their own words will be the calamity of the world! "

Zhao Jing raised the center of his brows slightly. "So you're saying that I have acted for my own good?"

"This official dares not!" Wen Yuye bowed, "This subject only feels that even without my younger brother's death, if the imperial government is willing to give this subject a chance, I will do my best. I will not dare to shirk my responsibility and will not refuse!"

"You are not modest at all!" Zhao Jing smiled. "Others are still trying to put on an act, but you don't even have the time to put on an act?" She looked up at him. "The Prime Minister's eyes are really poisonous!"

"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"
